Woman identified, children still hospitalized after passengers ejected in Saturday crash in Beaumont

One of the children is in critical condition according to JP Ben Collins.

BEAUMONT, Texas — A Houston woman killed in a Saturday morning wreck in Beaumont has been identified. 

Gregorian Cater, 25, was pronounced dead on arrival following the wreck around 5:20 a.m. Saturday according to Justice of the Peace Ben Collins. A 5-year-old child is stable and a 1-year-old is in critical condition in Houston. A man, identified as the father of the family, sustained head injuries, according to Collins.

(A previous version of this story incorrectly reported the location of the wreck. 12News was initially given incorrect information and regrets the error.) 

It happened at I-10 eastbound and 7th Street. Both children were rushed to Texas Children's Hospital. 

No one was wearing a seatbelt, and they were all ejected from the vehicle, Collins told 12News.

A preliminary investigation shows the vehicle exited the highway at a high rate of speed and hit a tree, according to Collins.
